Red Ridinghood, Into the Woods   … [Read more...]

Kids and dinosaurs, what is the eternal fascination? I think I've yet to meet a kid in the four to six year old range who wasn't interested in dinosaurs, my girls being no exception. "I think a lot of kids are interested in two science subjects: dinosaurs and aliens. The reason is almost genetic; we're hard-wired to be interested in things that might be a little … [Read more...]

Photo of Gavin Pring of The Fab Four, as George Harrison “It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one.” ~ George Harrison … [Read more...]

I Did It For Me, Blogging Bad

March 10, 2014 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

  This Walter White quote from the final episode of Breaking Bad really resonated with me. I am crazy in love with the way Bryan Cranston delivered these lines. I may have watched this video clip a dozen or so times. Dude deserves an Emmy for those 30 seconds alone. Any other Breaking Bad fans out there? … [Read more...]
